Challenge: Painting With Light II (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
Location: Dining room table at home
Date: Feb 27, 2006
Aperture: f/11
ISO: 100
Shutter: 6 sec.
Date Uploaded: Feb 27, 2006

 I used a 4 point cokin star filter over the lens.
I then held a flashlight above and somewhat behind the glass for about 4 seconds. I knew the shutter was going to be open longer, but I wanted to avoid over exposure.
The computer darkroom was basic.
Auto levels, sharpened, bumped up the contrast and saturation, cropped, added border, and SFW.

Light flashes and especially the reflection make this a photo well worth studying. Excellent shot.

The transluscence of the rock in the front and the reflection in the back...awsome!

This could be a winner.....I give it a "10", as it has the "WOW" factor.....Magical a "10" from me and also a "WOW" factor as well.

The star filter is in some ways almost too much. Your problem appears to be that your light source was stationary, not moving

Beautiful light on the rocks, and the stars greatly enhance the shot...as does the border. Very nicely done. 8

Nice effect of picking out the highlights on the glass. I've learned a lot from looking at the photos on this challenge!

Nice. The star effects are great. Did you do that in PP or use a good ol' Cokin filter?
